I Remember When I Was A Lad ( Or Lady.. Ducbird)

Finding grot mags in the woods. Oh and in derelict houses where they always seemed to have a worn matress too.

Glue sniffing and getting evo stick stuck round your mouth. I once said it was candy floss to a copper.

 

i dont think you where supposed to eat it boots.

 

It happens fin. Well it happened. Those days are long past. Passing fad thank fuck. Nowadays theyre on laughing gas. Same buzz but less intense.

 

I barely watched telly as a kid because we didn't own a telly until I was 10. Most folk didn't. Still, I did get to watch Doctor Who from the very first episode in 1963.

 

I remember avidly reading? Parade and Health and Efficiency mags.

 

I recall the Rediffusion socket on the wall and the b&w telly having a money coin slot on it

 

Aye, they worked down t'pit.

But at least I was free from middle class ruperts, who were strapped to their mothers umbilical.

 

It's the wrong colour! Surely I remember correctly it was silver.

And 'I expect you to die Mr Bond'

 

How did you explain the carrier bag still stuck to your mush?

 

Nose bag?

 

It's the wrong colour! Surely I remember correctly it was silver.

'I expect you to die Mr Bond'

Air rifle battles, we found the most painful place was to be shot in the back of the thigh muscle, big bruise. I never got shot in the nuts, that could have been worse.

 

You jest but after 10-15mins of a glue sniffing semi comatose trance, that couldve happened. Fortunately it didnt. I imagine I'd have suffocated. Shiver.

 

The ladies underwear section of the Freemans Catalogue.
It was an education.

 

We did that initially Arquey, but grumpy shop keeper cottoned on and marked em. So we took em from one and then to another and vice versa. Pretty sure the sugar rush I was perpetually under back then was responsible for all my delinquency.
